Homemade Holidays

This year, why not give something homemade for the holidays. Homemade gifts are the best kind to give. It's personal and shows that you took the time to make something during the busy holiday season. Here are some of my favorite homemade gifts to give:

Hot Chocolate on a Stick

Vanilla Marshmallows

Cinnamon Honey Butter

Melt-in-your-mouth Shortbread Cookies

Truffles

Candy Cane Cake Pops

S'mores Cake Pops

Mini Pecan Pies

Present all of your homemade gifts in a tin or basket, add a bottle of sparkling champagne and you're ready to give!

Au revoir! Catch me on Instagram

I initially started this blog in 2010 to chronicle my baking adventures. In 2013 I became a mother and this space shifted to sharing my DIYs and inspiration for creative living. Since then, I've been fortunate to work with multiple companies producing creative editorial content. As I look back at this blog, I'm reminded of how your passions can actually unfold into a career. And if you're really patient and willing to put in the all the work, dream jobs do come true. So it is here where I say au revoir to my beloved blog, aka my creative journal. You can still find me on @craftedbyjen . xoxo, Jen
